There was a summer camp story in which Peppermint Patty confronted the little red-headed girl (offstage, of course) and Charlie Brown’s name came up. Charlie Brown was sent home for being a troublemaker who caused girls to fight over him (although the reality was a bit different).
This strip is from the ’70s. In the 2020s, if P Patty bullied Chuck (as well as all the other things that went south for Chuck for life as he is the “born loser”) we would be hearing some reporter like Don Lemon or Wolf Blitzer talking about a young student who went off the reservation and did something that would make it the numero uno story on the national feed. Sad times we live in.
At last, some adult who’ll sort this thing out. Where was the teacher in all this? Surely, Chuck could’ve switched seats with Marcie? Or, does patty normally sit by herself ’cause noone can stand her whining?
My wife, in many ways perfect, shares the habit of licking her fingers to turn pages in a book. I am a confirmed bibliophile with a fairly large library, and it drives me nuts. Once I asked why she didn’t simply spit in whatever book she was defiling. The conversation went downhill thereafter.

That’s all Charlie Brown can stands until he can’t stands no more!

What do you want Chuck to do, Peppermint Patty, when it comes to charing a desk?

This was bound to happen. CB would probably be happy to be suspended from school.

That was bound to happen sooner than later the way she was complaining.

It never works out well when a woman’s most favorite word is don’t, and she likes it so much she has to begin every sentence with it.

Don’t frown outside the Principal’s office, Chuck!

I don’t understand why they were sent to the principal’s office, though.

You know it’s bad when someone as good as Charlie Brown loses it.

Don’t breathe (OMG). Peppermint Patty is a bully not a rare gem.

If Charlie Brown is having this much trouble. What’s going on with the rest of the gang? We haven’t seen anything about Lucy, or Linus, or Schroeder.

As I said earlier, this was later done in Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown(And Don’t Come Back).

You’re supposed to wait until you get married until you start criticizing and nagging, Patty!

Charlie Brown finally stands up to Peppermint Patty and it lands him into trouble. Nothing ever goes right for him.

When this strip originally ran, our paper was weekdays-only, and I wondered why they were in the principal’s office on Monday.

I was always of a thought that PP might be on the mentally ill side. This helps lock it in. BPD, perhaps?
